With the Galaxy S5, Samsung has topped its 2013 model with this year's top-tier specs, like an excellent 16-megapixel camera and superspeedy quad-core processor, and even more hardware features, like a fingerprint scanner.

The Galaxy S5's 5.1-inch HD AMOLED display has just about the same specs as the Galaxy S4, with the addition of new adaptive screen technology that improves automatic brightness settings in various lighting situations. The result? A clear, bright, beautiful display.
